I always thought that Adeiny would play short, Yunel second, and Hill at third for the future.

Heck, I could see that combo by the All-Star break next year if Adeiny continues to play as good as he did last year after he was moved up to AA. A good Summer league, and spring training, and a hot start to next season and you can see Adeiny sooner rather than later. I think he probably starts next season in Vegas, and excels in a hitter friendly league.

Jay,Your opinion carries great weight here considering you have actually watched them play live and have followed d'Arnaud and Gose closely since they were drafted by the Phillies. It's hard for me to say this guy or that guy deserves to be on the list or higher due to the fact I have never seen them play!

To me, Baseball America seems to covet the high upside type player regardless of which level they are currently at. How else do you explain that the MVP at AAA is ranked behind a kid who just had back surgery and has never played in AA.....and they both play the same position on the field.

Argos!Yeah we all wanna Hech rocket through the system as fast as possible. But since we picked up Esco, we can afford to take it a little slow and make sure he is ready. Try to remember, this kid has not even been in North America for a calender year. He is still learning how to speak english.

I read somewhere that he is done for this year with a hammy injury. That will no doubt slow his progress only because I`m sure the braintrust was expecting him to get him another 200 at bats or so this winter. Although I hope see him make the big leagues in 2011, I think the 2012 season is a more realistic time frame for his MLB debut. Perhaps a September call up. As for which level he starts at, I think it depends on where his mentor Luis Rivera ends up managing. We still have a vacant coaching staff in Vegas.

Ryan,Yep he certainly believes in strong up the middle and it shows. Gose should stick in CF but Marisnick may have to eventually move over to a corner. Kinda a nice problem to have.....

Mattt,JP will fetch a nice return on the trade market. I have long wondered if he is truly our catcher of the future. Hard to say.

But what I will say is this: breaking in a young guy behind the plate takes minimum half a season. I`m not sure we are going to do that, since as you mentioned, we have other studs coming up the pipeline. I would totally support a trade of JP, if it brings back a nice young solid infielder in return.

I've been saying for a while, I think JPA will be the DH or 1B, or even 3B of the future. His bat is very strong, so he has a spot in the bigs, but his bat maybe too good for the catcher position. Generally great bats behind the plate get moved away from the catcher position because of the damage it does to the knees and because they will only play in around 120 games max. Look at guys like Delgado, or even Bryce Harper.

Travis doesn't have nearly as good as a bat, but is very strong defensively so I see him as the catcher of the future.
